This has been working just fine for a while

myChart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
myChart.SeriesCollection(2).Values = "='HCLHotBath'!
R75C107:R75C250"
myChart.SeriesCollection(2).Name = "B2Alpha"

Now, all of a sudden it bombs on the .Name =, the message is

"Unable to set the Name property of the Series Class"

I have this feeling that SeriesCollection(2) really isn't there. *But,

there would be a way to create a series object and THEN add it to the

(Seems a little flaky to rely on NewSeries returning the "next"

Thank you.

Assign the new series a variable name, then use that to refer to it:

Code:
--------------------
* * Set NewSeries = mychart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
* NewSeries.Values = "='HCLHotBath'!R75C107: R75C250"
* NewSeries.Name = "B2Alpha"

Thank you. One more question. How would you 'tag' this new series.
Say the chart object got passed and I wanted to access this, or other,
speicific series there.
